A Washington special to the PittBbnrg Commercial-Gazette, dated 4th, says : The Executive order has been prepared and will probably be sinned to morrow providing for the consolidation of the pension agencies. The number has been reduced to eighteen instead of twenty There is retained one of the agencies in Philadelphia, and also the agency in Pittsburg. Upon further consideration, it was found that the number of pensioners paid at Pittsburg was nearly seven thousand, being more than in many whole States. It was therefore decided to allow Pennsylva- nia two of thewnole number in the coun trv. The State of Ohio will be allowed one agency, which probably will be eta- tioned at umcinnaii. nest Virginia win be asataned to a district with Virginia and Tennessee, the agency probably to be established at Wheeling, Secretary Sherman has declined the nnnnD;t.'Mi nf ihn TTninn Conner Distill ing nnmnnnir fif tllR Fifflt district of Illinois, to compromise by the payment or $i!iu ana costs tne uiairns oi uie United titles against them for anes 1 4, orfeitures ana taxes, amount lug ui all to o7,y3.3U.

Russians Advancing in a Semi-, circle Toward JPrzpioum. A Battle Impending South of Kar8. Perfect Communication Between the Russian Corps. Outline of tue Coming Parliamentary Battle in England. THE TURKS MASSIN8. London, May 6. The bulk of the Turkish forces appear to be masHing toward Silistria and Ruslchuk, and thiB is the direction in which the Russians, by their movements, would appear to indicate a desire to pass the river; but tbe Turks seem etill conlcnt to remain passively on the defensive, and make no endeavors at any connlerstroke or forwaid movement which might aid them to form accurate judgment as to the point at which attack may be mada upon their position, or by what forces they may La assailed in Asia. RUSSIAN ADVANCE TOWARD KKZEROUM, The Russian forces are advancing in a semi circle toward Erzeroum, whilst'the Turkish foroes are concentrated in a triangle of Erzeroum, Otti and Kara. According to information received there are no Ipsa than 140,000 men conducting and supporting the inovetuentg, so that we may be prepared to hear of the first battle having bean fought south of Kara, followed by the advance forcing passes between Getschevan and Deliinusa, to Mid- ichinger and Hassan Kaleb, where the Turks will have to take up a position for defense of JCrzeroum ; for if once the crest of the mountains bordering Erzeroum on tbe east is won by the Russian troops, the town is lost. RUSSIAN COMMUNICATIONS. The Russian Consuls of Batoum, Kars, Erzeroum and "rebizonde accompany headquarters, and will be entrusted with the civil administration of djstripts occupied. Very significant of the thoroughness of the Ruisian advance, ss far, is the fact that each corps has kept up communication with the others throughout. This has been accomplished by the Cos sacks. TPRKI8H STRENGTH.. The number of Turkish troops at and between Erzeroum, Kars and fiatoum amount to 64,000 regulars, of whom 20,-000 are cavalrymen and about 4000 artil lerists. In addition, ther are some 0000 militia, and about 5000 KurdiBh irregular cavalry, Kars is well armed, blit the detached forts are badly placed, and cover each other insufliciently, or not at all. Nor are any of tbe fortresses well provisioned, with tbe exception of Erzeroum, where there is a large stock of rice and Indian corn, WAR K18H. Operations in war risks formed an Im portant part of busines in marine insur ance during tbo week, but has been calmer han last week. Ihrough rates can not be said to have decreased at all. Very large amounts have been insured in British property in British bottoms against war risks only from China to the United Kingdom, by ships or steamers warranted to sail on or before the 31st of August, at live shillings per cent., or seven shilling, six, if on or before the 31st of Oc tober. Jt is stated that as much as five shillings per cent, has been paid on iuik'iish merchandise In iuglish steamers to Gibraltar, end ten shillings per cent. to Constantinople; but the prevailing rateB would be nearer two shillings, six per cent , and five shillings per cent., respectively. As much as ten guineas per cent, has been paid against tbe risk only of blockade of or prohibition of export of grain from Russian Baltic ports, and much higher rales against the same risk as Russian pons in the Black sea. The rate against war risks only by ship or ships to or from fndia or Pacific ports is about five shillings per cent. EASY VICTORY FOR RUSSIA. Notwithstanding the tardiness of oper ations and meaercness of information, even the most pronounced friends of lur- key begin already to forbode an easy vie tory for Russia. PARLIAMENTARY BATTLE. The excitement over the parliamentary battle whiph is to begin in the Houne of Commons to-morrow almost overshadows the interest in operations of war. Jt is arranged to devote Monday and Tuesday to debate on Gladstone's resolutions, and a division is to be taken the second night. THE LIBERAL LEADERS. At a conference of Liberal leaders on Friday it was decided to follow the course provisionally agreed upon on Wednesday, hv votincr for Sir John Lubbereck's amendment in favor of the previousques- tion, and therefore in condemnation of Gladstone's resolutions. The general interpretation of theie resolutions is that they call upon Parliament to af firm that tbe responsibility for war rests with tbe misgovernment and oppression of the Porte; that the British sympathies ought to be on the side of Turkey's assailants, and British power ought to be exerted in conjunction with KUBsia, in or der to bring about tbe dismemberment of the Ottoman .umpire of Europe. It is estimated that somewhat more than a hundred Liberals will vote with Glad stone. Tbe argument of those who dep recate Gladstone's course is that if he should be supported only by a small section of Liberals he would have cast unjust discredit on the strength of the party opposed tc any armed intervention on behalf of Turkey. Jf he musters a creditable following he will have rendered Lord Huntington's position almost untenable. In either event he will have divided the opposition into two camps, and thereby played into the handB of the Government. THE SECESSION FROM GLADSTONE. The Saturday Review says the moder ate liberals and regular leaders of the Opposition perform a paipful duty in separating themselves from their former chief, Mr. Gladstone. They can for the moment see nothing but the Bulgarian massacre, and he is insensible to immi- nent risk of destroying an historical English party. Left for Rome. London, May 6. A delegation beaded by the Duke of Norfolk left London yes terday for Koine, to attend the rapal in bilee. He bears a congratulatory address with 600,000 signatures. WASHINGTON. OUB WAR RELATIONS. Washington. May 6. The Depart ment of State has not yet been officially informed through the proper Russian source of the existence of war between Russia and Turkey. The latter, it will be recollected, made known the fact to the Department several nays ago. When Russia shall be heard from the Depart ment ma; frame such reply to each as our position toward the belligerents requires. Every proper measure will be taken to strictly observe our neutral relations, while yielding no rights of our citizens under treaties and international law. There is reason to believe Russian ships will soon depart from our waters. NEW ADVERTISIN SCHEME. PoHinaster General Key, Secrelary Thompson, of the Navy, and Secretary Schurz, of the Interior, have made a commendable move concerning advertising in their Departments. The Departments will, as usual, designate- the papers; but the advertisements will be placed by a firm of advertising experts who will examine and correct all bills in tbe light of experience obtained in commercial advertising business. Under this eyBtem tbe Government will pay no more for its advertising than a commercial firm pays for the same service, and whatever abuses may have been possible in former years will exist no longer. The leading papers of the country indorse the system, and tbe officers who inaugurated the needed reform have already received many letters warmly commending the new method. Boiler Explosion (tt Beit. Boston, May 6. The steamship China has arrived from Liverpool. She reports that on April SO, in latitude 48, 21, longitude 33, 20, she signalled the steamer Hi-donian, off Glasgow, from New York for Bristol, disabled. She required a surgeon. The ship's surgeon was sent on board, and reported that ou the 20th the boilers exploded, killing the captain, three engineers, two firemen and one trimmer, and injuring the cook. The rest of the crew were wel. When tt)e' Surgeon" of the China went on board, the men "ere all dead but one fireman. When asked the cause of explosion he answered : "I will tell yon in the morning." But he died in a few minutes, and it was impossible to learn tbe cause. The Sidonian proceeded under sail, and will not arrive at her destination under two weeks. H-'eniau Movement in Dayton.

It is a remarkable, but by no means novel condition of affaire, that whilst war is raging on the borders of Turkey for the redress of persecution on account of religion, those who are the champions of the oppressed should be oppressing others, because of a difference of creed. Yet this is charged against Roumania by a delegation of Jewish citizens, who called upon the President atid Secretary of State on Wednesday. Roumania when under Turkish sway revolted againBt the religions persecutions of the Moslem, but giving credit to repealed and tolerably well vouched charges she has not been willing to grant to the Hebrews tbe freedom of conscience claimed for her Greek and Scla-vic subjects. This in but repeating the history of nll.aes when dominant religions or races have had the power to oppress. Voluntary obligations in a written Constitution like ours, giving full freedom to the religions consciences of all, are among tho rarest things in the practice of political philosophy. The prevailing rule is: the orthodox must have their rights, and the heterodox must be content wiih what they can get and this is to be interpreted by the corelative rule, "orthodoxy is our doxy whatever it is, and heterodoxy is your doxy if it doei not agree with ours." If it be true that the Roumanian Government is oppressing the Jews, the present would seem to be a good time fo ask Prince Charles to abolish the practice, and if our Govern ment can properly aid in bunging about such a consummation we hope it will make an effort to that end. i'lxliifr Ihe Mecnrlty. lletroit Free Press.

A Washington special to the PittBbnrg Commercial-Gazette, dated 4th, says : The Executive order has been prepared and will probably be sinned to morrow providing for the consolidation of the pension agencies. The number has been reduced to eighteen instead of twenty There is retained one of the agencies in Philadelphia, and also the agency in Pittsburg. Upon further consideration, it was found that the number of pensioners paid at Pittsburg was nearly seven thousand, being more than in many whole States. It was therefore decided to allow Pennsylva- nia two of thewnole number in the coun trv.

Russians Advancing in a Semi-, circle Toward JPrzpioum. A Battle Impending South of Kar8. Perfect Communication Between the Russian Corps. Outline of tue Coming Parliamentary Battle in England. THE TURKS MASSIN8. London, May 6. The bulk of the Turkish forces appear to be masHing toward Silistria and Ruslchuk, and thiB is the direction in which the Russians, by their movements, would appear to indicate a desire to pass the river; but tbe Turks seem etill conlcnt to remain passively on the defensive, and make no endeavors at any connlerstroke or forwaid movement which might aid them to form accurate judgment as to the point at which attack may be mada upon their position, or by what forces they may La assailed in Asia. RUSSIAN ADVANCE TOWARD KKZEROUM, The Russian forces are advancing in a semi circle toward Erzeroum, whilst'the Turkish foroes are concentrated in a triangle of Erzeroum, Otti and Kara. According to information received there are no Ipsa than 140,000 men conducting and supporting the inovetuentg, so that we may be prepared to hear of the first battle having bean fought south of Kara, followed by the advance forcing passes between Getschevan and Deliinusa, to Mid- ichinger and Hassan Kaleb, where the Turks will have to take up a position for defense of JCrzeroum ; for if once the crest of the mountains bordering Erzeroum on tbe east is won by the Russian troops, the town is lost. RUSSIAN COMMUNICATIONS. The Russian Consuls of Batoum, Kars, Erzeroum and "rebizonde accompany headquarters, and will be entrusted with the civil administration of djstripts occupied. Very significant of the thoroughness of the Ruisian advance, ss far, is the fact that each corps has kept up communication with the others throughout. This has been accomplished by the Cos sacks. TPRKI8H STRENGTH.. The number of Turkish troops at and between Erzeroum, Kars and fiatoum amount to 64,000 regulars, of whom 20,-000 are cavalrymen and about 4000 artil lerists. In addition, ther are some 0000 militia, and about 5000 KurdiBh irregular cavalry, Kars is well armed, blit the detached forts are badly placed, and cover each other insufliciently, or not at all. Nor are any of tbe fortresses well provisioned, with tbe exception of Erzeroum, where there is a large stock of rice and Indian corn, WAR K18H. Operations in war risks formed an Im portant part of busines in marine insur ance during tbo week, but has been calmer han last week. Ihrough rates can not be said to have decreased at all. Very large amounts have been insured in British property in British bottoms against war risks only from China to the United Kingdom, by ships or steamers warranted to sail on or before the 31st of August, at live shillings per cent., or seven shilling, six, if on or before the 31st of Oc tober. Jt is stated that as much as five shillings per cent, has been paid on iuik'iish merchandise In iuglish steamers to Gibraltar, end ten shillings per cent. to Constantinople; but the prevailing rateB would be nearer two shillings, six per cent , and five shillings per cent., respectively. As much as ten guineas per cent, has been paid against tbe risk only of blockade of or prohibition of export of grain from Russian Baltic ports, and much higher rales against the same risk as Russian pons in the Black sea. The rate against war risks only by ship or ships to or from fndia or Pacific ports is about five shillings per cent. EASY VICTORY FOR RUSSIA. Notwithstanding the tardiness of oper ations and meaercness of information, even the most pronounced friends of lur- key begin already to forbode an easy vie tory for Russia. PARLIAMENTARY BATTLE. The excitement over the parliamentary battle whiph is to begin in the Houne of Commons to-morrow almost overshadows the interest in operations of war. Jt is arranged to devote Monday and Tuesday to debate on Gladstone's resolutions, and a division is to be taken the second night. THE LIBERAL LEADERS. At a conference of Liberal leaders on Friday it was decided to follow the course provisionally agreed upon on Wednesday, hv votincr for Sir John Lubbereck's amendment in favor of the previousques- tion, and therefore in condemnation of Gladstone's resolutions. The general interpretation of theie resolutions is that they call upon Parliament to af firm that tbe responsibility for war rests with tbe misgovernment and oppression of the Porte; that the British sympathies ought to be on the side of Turkey's assailants, and British power ought to be exerted in conjunction with KUBsia, in or der to bring about tbe dismemberment of the Ottoman .umpire of Europe. It is estimated that somewhat more than a hundred Liberals will vote with Glad stone. Tbe argument of those who dep recate Gladstone's course is that if he should be supported only by a small section of Liberals he would have cast unjust discredit on the strength of the party opposed tc any armed intervention on behalf of Turkey. Jf he musters a creditable following he will have rendered Lord Huntington's position almost untenable. In either event he will have divided the opposition into two camps, and thereby played into the handB of the Government. THE SECESSION FROM GLADSTONE. The Saturday Review says the moder ate liberals and regular leaders of the Opposition perform a paipful duty in separating themselves from their former chief, Mr. Gladstone. They can for the moment see nothing but the Bulgarian massacre, and he is insensible to immi- nent risk of destroying an historical English party. Left for Rome. London, May 6. A delegation beaded by the Duke of Norfolk left London yes terday for Koine, to attend the rapal in bilee. He bears a congratulatory address with 600,000 signatures. WASHINGTON. OUB WAR RELATIONS. Washington. May 6. The Depart ment of State has not yet been officially informed through the proper Russian source of the existence of war between Russia and Turkey. The latter, it will be recollected, made known the fact to the Department several nays ago. When Russia shall be heard from the Depart ment ma; frame such reply to each as our position toward the belligerents requires. Every proper measure will be taken to strictly observe our neutral relations, while yielding no rights of our citizens under treaties and international law. There is reason to believe Russian ships will soon depart from our waters. NEW ADVERTISIN SCHEME. PoHinaster General Key, Secrelary Thompson, of the Navy, and Secretary Schurz, of the Interior, have made a commendable move concerning advertising in their Departments. The Departments will, as usual, designate- the papers; but the advertisements will be placed by a firm of advertising experts who will examine and correct all bills in tbe light of experience obtained in commercial advertising business. Under this eyBtem tbe Government will pay no more for its advertising than a commercial firm pays for the same service, and whatever abuses may have been possible in former years will exist no longer. The leading papers of the country indorse the system, and tbe officers who inaugurated the needed reform have already received many letters warmly commending the new method. Boiler Explosion (tt Beit. Boston, May 6. The steamship China has arrived from Liverpool. She reports that on April SO, in latitude 48, 21, longitude 33, 20, she signalled the steamer Hi-donian, off Glasgow, from New York for Bristol, disabled. She required a surgeon. The ship's surgeon was sent on board, and reported that ou the 20th the boilers exploded, killing the captain, three engineers, two firemen and one trimmer, and injuring the cook. The rest of the crew were wel. When tt)e' Surgeon" of the China went on board, the men "ere all dead but one fireman. When asked the cause of explosion he answered : "I will tell yon in the morning." But he died in a few minutes, and it was impossible to learn tbe cause. The Sidonian proceeded under sail, and will not arrive at her destination under two weeks. H-'eniau Movement in Dayton. Dayton, O., May 5. A Fenian movement is in agitation among tbe Irish citizens.

It is a remarkable, but by no means novel condition of affaire, that whilst war is raging on the borders of Turkey for the redress of persecution on account of religion, those who are the champions of the oppressed should be oppressing others, because of a difference of creed. Yet this is charged against Roumania by a delegation of Jewish citizens, who called upon the President atid Secretary of State on Wednesday. Roumania when under Turkish sway revolted againBt the religions persecutions of the Moslem, but giving credit to repealed and tolerably well vouched charges she has not been willing to grant to the Hebrews tbe freedom of conscience claimed for her Greek and Scla-vic subjects. This in but repeating the history of nll.aes when dominant religions or races have had the power to oppress. Voluntary obligations in a written Constitution like ours, giving full freedom to the religions consciences of all, are among tho rarest things in the practice of political philosophy. The prevailing rule is: the orthodox must have their rights, and the heterodox must be content wiih what they can get and this is to be interpreted by the corelative rule, "orthodoxy is our doxy whatever it is, and heterodoxy is your doxy if it doei not agree with ours." If it be true that the Roumanian Government is oppressing the Jews, the present would seem to be a good time fo ask Prince Charles to abolish the practice, and if our Govern ment can properly aid in bunging about such a consummation we hope it will make an effort to that end. i'lxliifr Ihe Mecnrlty. lletroit Free Press.
